| But $22,580 Realized for the Seventys 


Seven Paintings in the Collection 
of the Brazilian Minister. 
epee ene reece 


The sale of the collection of seventy-seven paint- 


ings owned by Senhor Salvador de Mendonga, the 


Brazilian Minister, which took place at Chickering 
Hall last evening, was a most disastrous one, the 
total reaohed being but $22,580. 

Zhe doubts, or rather more than donbts, that 


had been cast on the authen ticity of some of the 


pictures resulted in very timid bidding, except in 
& few cases on the by far larger number of un- 
doubtedly getiuine examples, and the audience 
Was small, containing but few well known buyers 


and hardly any of the picture dealers, 


Somewhat of s stir was caused just after Auo- 
tionéer Norman, before opening the sale, stated 


‘that Senhor ds Mendonca was selling his modern 


{ @s there were pl 
} Wasall they could say. .Whoen the picture ‘‘Le 


works because he was now buying old masters, 


| Mr. Montague Marks, editor of the Art Amateur. 


| thereupon arosefrom his seat and wanted to know 
if the pictures were guaranteed to be genuine 
| and who vouched for their authenticity. Mr. Nor- 
| Man answered rather oddly that they were sold 
| On the authenticity of Senhor de Mendonca, As 
the Minister was present and there was no doubt 


on this point, quiet, if not confidence, was re- 
‘stored. 
WILLING TO SEND THEM TO HENNER - 
‘When the auctioneer camo to the two works at- 
tributed to Henner, he announced that the artist 
was alive, and thatthe Minister, if the purchaser 
wished, would send them over at his expense, and 
that if they were fictitious they could stay there 
nty such on this side and that 


Repos” was put up Mr. Norman said, as the bids 
id not sesm to be coming, that the 


| @udience evidently did not believe they were 


Henners, The work finally sold to Mr. HE. LL, M. 
Bristow for $210, less than a tenth of its vaiue had 
it been accepted as genuine. 
For the second work, signea J. J. Benner, “Une 
jth he se Regardant Dans Un Puits,”’ Mr. Stanley 
mer, after a short competition with Mr, Id- 
ward Kelly, paid $610. 


When the sale had dragged along to No. 46 with 
$426 as the highest figure, and that for Israel's “An 

| Old Fisherman of Schayoyingep,’’ Mr. Norman re- 
marked, as a plea ‘for ‘more rapid bidding, 
that the works were being murdered, and that they 
roight as well all be murdered all at once so as to 
be done with it, : AG ou ee 
With few exceptions the works about which 
there was 230 doubt met a worse fate 
than’ those about which thore was, and 
there were bargains in number. It was 


not until No 47, Gonzalez’s “Conyalescence © 


ad’ un Prince” was sold that the one thousand ‘dollar 
mark was passed. It brought $1,250 from 


Mr. W. 8. Bradley, who gave the highest © 


rice of the evening—$3,000—for Amis Morot’s 
eautiful nude, “Dryade;”  $2,090—a very 
low figures for Corot’s ‘‘Berger Jovant avec une 
Chévre,” and $1,700 for Vinea’s ‘‘La Oave,”’ $800 for 


the Jacque ‘‘Paysagsun Troupeau pies d’un Cherie — 


i Barbizon” and $600 for Mcrot’s *‘Arabs Attacking 


ap English Outpost.” 
THE MADRAZO'S FATE, 


The large Madrazo, “Morning Reflections,” © 


brought but $1,000, the purchaser being Dr. H. M, 
Harris, of Providence, RK. J., who secured a nuto- 


ber of other works, including Decamps and 


Michels, at much lower figures. 

| _ The Corot “Bords de 1’Oise, le Maton,”’ brought 
$950; Richet’s ‘Paysage en Normandie” $560, and 
the Daubigny ‘‘Paysage la Foniaine’’ $526. — 
© Other prices of interest are Michel *‘L’Abreuyoir,” 


$450, ‘L’Orage,’”’ $410, and “Approaching Storm,”’ — 


$410; Decamp’s “Vue d’Orient,’ $400; Waphno’s 
“A Chloe,” $225, and “Sancho Panza and Don Quix- 
ote,’’ $220; Bascassat, “Study for a Cow, &c.,’’ $125.
